Tool combination for bicycle

Abstract

A tool combination includes two tool assemblies that may be secured together by an engagement between a dovetail slot and a dovetail. The tool assemblies each includes a number of rotatable tools. One of the tool assemblies includes a rib formed on one side. The other tool assembly includes a knob pivotally engaged in a housing. The knob includes a projection for engaging with the rib.
